H.E.R.O., C.A.D., and the C.A.L.L.E.D.


Being in possession of a Communication, Access, Learning, and Location Electronic Device, commonly known as a CALLED or a CALL device, gives you the means to get in touch with representatives from all manner of worlds and universes, regardless of where you are. There are privacy settings, as well as personal and common encryption which your character can employ with their device. You can send text, audio, video, and common files such as text/jpg/mp3 through the devices to anyone who has a CALL device. Each device has an inbox, where others can leave you messages, and the capability to be used live such as a phone, video conference, or instant messenger. Usernames are decided by the player/character, can be changed at any time, and devices can post anonymously. The complete APP list is here. CALL devices do not require charging, are entirely water/sand/slime/acid/everything-proof, and even a 10-ton boulder falling on top of one would have a hard time breaking one of these things. They also have a curious habit of returning to your pocket should you happen to drop or misplace the device.

ALL users have access to the CALL Network, the network which is open to any and all users of a CALL device.

Processed characters (aka, apped characters) have a few more options.
  • HEROIC characters have access to the Heroic Education and Rallying Organization, or HERO, Network. This network exists to allow for older heroes to teach and mentor younger heroes on their journey, for younger heroes to help and refresh older heroes to keep them fighting, and generally for all of them to be able to assist and communicate between one another safely.
  • VILLAINOUS characters have access to their own network for Chaos And Destruction, otherwise known as the CAD Network. This network exists for villains to team up, plot, and otherwise use one another as needed to hopefully succeed against the heroes who would stand in their way.
  • NEUTRAL characters just have access to the CALL Network.
  • Heroic characters cannot access CAD and Villainous characters cannot access HERO via their devices. No amount of fiddling with their communicator or attempted hacking will do the trick. Stealing another character's communicator, however, would allow them access, though this can only be done with the permission of said character.

Please specify on all public network posts WHICH network you are posting to.


This post is to help players figure out which network their communicator will fall under. But the network they start with isn't necessarily where they'll stay. Heroes fall, villains have a change of heart, and previously neutral parties can find themselves moved to great or terrible acts. Changing your affiliation will require a note left here, using the form below:
